General Information about Halong Bay Heritage Race.

Not just showing professionalism in the organization work, in the care and logistics for runners, the Organizers of the Halong Bay Heritage Marathon are at the forefront with an effort to turn the race into a vibrant and colorful carnival on the shore of the beautiful Ha Long Bay.

The best way for international runners is to fly to Hanoi's Noi Bai airport and transfer to Ha Long.

The Halong Bay Heritage Marathon, Vietnam’s oldest heritage race, will keep its Start and Finish lines at the Quang Ninh Exhibition of Planning and Expo Center. After the Start at the Center, also known as the Dolphin Palace, 42-km and 21-km marathoners will run up to Bai Tho bridge and reach the Goc Cay Da (the Banyan Tree root) roundabout, where they will make the first U-turn. Runners will keep running on Tran Quoc Nguyen street towards Quang Hanh and have the second U-turn before heading straight to the Finish line.   For the 10-km and 5-km runs, 250 meters after the Start runners will turn right into Tran Quoc Nguyen street to reach the U-turn point for their respective distances, then run straight towards the Finish line. A total of 12 refreshment points will be allocated along the route, including one main station at the Start/Finish point, one supplementary station, and 10 RPs throughout the course. Along the track, there are 11 fixed medical points, along with medical support staff patrolling the route on motorcycles and bicycles continuously. The Halong Bay Heritage Marathon’s Organizers wish all runners to have excellent physical strength and a fantastic experience on Vietnam’s most beautiful heritage race track in November.
